More RAM and now video problems
I have just added another 256mb of Corsair ram to my already 512mb
Corsair ram, and altho' it checks out ok in the bootup screen ie 786mb now, when I get into win2k, my colours are going orangey now and again with lines. It does seem to only happen shortly after getting into windows, and then looks like it is settling down to normal colours. Ay ideas as to what this problem? might be? I have not altered the ram timings at all from when I had just 512mb in, and it is the same Corsair Value Select VS256MB400, as my other 2 sticks of 256mb. Thanks -- Bob H Leeds UK |

I tested my ram, all of it, with memtest, letting it run for about 40 mins or so, and no errors were found. Strangely enough, I have had this problem once before after fitting in new ram sticks, and then the problem went away, just like it has now! No, directly after fitting a new 256mb stick of Corsair ram, on bootup the screen was going funny colours, then in windows 2000, it was the same again for a short while. Now there has been no problems for the last 36 hours or so. Thanks -- Bob H Leeds UK |
